City of Flint to Begin Neighborhood Ward Meetings

On Monday, Flint Emergency Manager Michael Brown announced the schedule for neighborhood ward meetings in Flint. Brown is joining with members of the Flint City Council to host meetings in each of the city's nine wards beginning in February.

The meetings will provide an opportunity for residents to meet the emergency manager and members of his team, get information on the city's finances and an overview of the Comprehensive Financial and Operating Plan that was submitted to the State Department of Treasury. Also, the meetings will give residents an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback. All questions must be submitted in writing at the time of the meeting.

Brown looks forward to getting together with residents and discussing his plan to return Flint to financial solvency. "Community engagement is vital in this process. It's important for residents to have a clear picture of the city's resources, responsibilities, and those things that are necessary, moving forward, as we get the city's financial house in order," said Brown.
